    Apparently someone tripped on the server power cord at our host and they took about 15 hours to figure it out...

    Sorry about the downtime. You guys have no idea how stressful the last 15 hours have been... :blink:

    Thanks, Danny! I had no idea I would suffer withdrawal symptoms. Isn't the first question at any help desk always "Is it plugged in?" :rolleyes:

    How about "Have you rebooted yet?"

    I actually had to work today. Perish the thought...

    How long do you suppose we could run a server off a Prius traction battery? Hmmm...

    I just received word on what it actually was - the power supply died. Man, isn't that the first thing that always dies on a computer?

    Well the power supply is the second thing you check when you don’t have any power. First thing is the cord of course. I worry about it taking 15 hours to figure out that it’s the power supply. I would not want to face my manager if it were me.
